Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

Jason raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Grace. “A rich and powerful man? Who is she talking about?”

“…” Grace guessed that Third Aunt was referring Jason. After all, he had made such a fuss about coming into town and saving her.

However, at that time, it was First Uncle and Second Uncle that had been in simpleton Feng’s house, and Third Aunt was not there. Thus, she had never met Jason before.

Sure enough, Grace then heard Third Aunt’s elaborate explanation, “Well, when Grace was here, there was a rich and powerful man who brought a lot of people to pick her up. They brought a lot of fancy cars, I was worried about Grace. I was afraid that a rich and powerful man like him would not have any true feelings for her and that she’d get caught up in it. I’m glad that she has a boyfriend like you now.”

Grace found it funny. Third Aunt and her cousin were indeed the same! They both liked to reveal matters related to her on purpose. However, what Third Aunt did not know was that the rich and powerful man she was talking about was standing right in front of her.

“Is that so? You’re very thoughtful,” Jason said lightly as he affectionately put an arm around Grace’s shoulders. He leaned closer to her and said with his fragrant breath that smelled like an orchid, “Are you caught up in our relationship?”

Grace could not help but glare at Jason. He knew that Third Aunt was talking about him and deliberately asked Grace that.

Putting that aside, was he aware of how intimate they looked at the moment?

“Stop fooling around,” Grace muttered.

“I’m not fooling around, I’m serious,” replied Jason.

Grace blushed a little and could only whisper, “We’ll talk about it… when we get back.”

“All right. We’ll talk about it when we get back,” Jason said with a laugh. When Jason looked at Grace, his eyes seemed soft as if he were doting on her. On the contrary, Jason’s eyes looked rather cold whenever he looked at the other two women.

It has to be said that Stella Lindsay along with Third Aunt, who was quite old, found the scene before them blinding. However,

they could only call the two shameless in their hearts.

As for Stella Lindsay, her envy grew even more.

Did the man really not care about Grace’s past? Or was he so deep in love with Grace that he was able to ignore her past?

“Well, can I call you Jason too? I’m Grace’s cousin. You can call me Stella,” Stella Lindsay took the initiative to introduce herself.

“No, you can call me ‘Mr. Jay” replied Jason. As for what he would call Stella Lindsay, he had no intention of addressing her. Thus, he did not care about what she said afterward

A flash of embarra**ment immediately flushed Stella

Lindsay’s face. What Jason said to her was like a slap in the facel

Third Aunt was visibly annoyed by this. She complained to Grace, “Hey, Grace, Stella has good intentions. Why is your boyfriend so arrogant. He’s our quest. Does he want us to worship him like he’s our master?”

Grace simply said lightly, “My boyfriend is quite shy. He keeps his distance from people he doesn’t know well”

Third Aunt and Stella Lindsay almost choked on their saliva,

Shy?!

The man did not look like he was shy,

Nevertheless, when the man gazed lazily at them, they could not help but feel their hearts begin to beat quickly. It was as if they were subconsciously afraid of his gaze.

Third Aunt pursed her lips and did not say anything else. On the other hand, Stella Lindsay shamelessly and insinuatingly asked when Grace and Jason met, how they got together, what Jason’s true identity was, what kind of job he had, his family background, and so on.

Those questions were without a doubt all vaguely dismissed.

by Grace.

As a result, Stella Lindsay found herself asking questions that seemed to have no substance. Nonetheless, with Jason there, she dared throw a fit. Hence, she forced a smile and asked,

“Then what are you working as now?”

“I’m the food delivery rider of a small restaurant,” Grace answered sincerely, showing no signs of inferiority despite her profession.

Nevertheless, in Stella Lindsay’s ears, Grace sounded like she was in dire straits considering that she used to be a lawyer who had been admired by people as an intellectual person. Grace was now working as a food delivery rider; it was not much different from her previous job as a street sweeper.

“Your boyfriend… uh, Mr.Smith didn’t help you find another job?” asked Stella Lindsay as she eyed Jason who was sitting next to Grace and fiddling with her fingers.

Jason’s fingers were long and fair. He had a pair of extremely good-looking hands. At the moment, they were rubbing and squeezing Grace’s fingers. Jason was doing so in a gentle, intimate manner that made Stella Lindsay wish he was holding her own hands.

“I like the job I have now,” said Grace. After all, Kyla and all the other people at the restaurant were nice to her. Not to mention, she was able to meet Nelson through her job.

Nelson was very kind to her. Whenever he saw her, he would smile at her and hug her. He was very affectionate.

It was because of Nelson’s ear problem that Grace felt sympathy for him and wanted to take good care of him.

Grace really enjoyed her current working environment. At the very least, no one at the small restaurant looked down at her just because of her time in prison.

When Stella Lindsay heard this, she thought that maybe this man called Jason was not that capable. Otherwise, what kind of boyfriend would let his girlfriend work as a food delivery rider?

Maybe Jason only had a handsome face.

Just then, Grace’s grandmother woke up. Hence, Grace rushed to her grandmother’s room.

Third Aunt helped Grandma sit up on the bed. Grace’s grandmother smiled as soon as she caught sight of her. “You’re here. Come, come closer. Let me take a good look at my little Grace.”

Grace’s eyes reddened. She got closer to the bed as she looked at the elderly in front of her. Grace tried to say something, but she had a sore nose and nothing came out of her mouth.

Grandma raised her hand and touched Grace’s head. “You look like you’re going to cry. What’s the matter? Did someone bully you?”

“What are you saying, Mom? Grace brought her boyfriend here today. How would we dare bully her? We even have to call her boyfriend Mister,” Third Aunt took the opportunity to quip.

Grandma was surprised. “Boyfriend? Grace has a boyfriend now? Quick, let me meet him!”

“I’ll bring him here then,” said Grace as she got up and walked out of the room.

Third Aunt said somewhat unhappily, “What are you so happy about, Mom? Grace’s boyfriend looks like a toy boy. He might even be a fraud!”

In short, she did not want her niece to find a good boyfriend and one up her daughter.

“That’s enough. Grace is a cautious kid. She’s not someone who would lose her head over someone’s words. I’ll see if he’s a fraud!” said Grace’s grandmother.

Third Aunt pursed her lips. Grandma looked at Jason as Grace led him into the room. She said with a smile, “You’re Grace’s boyfriend, aren’t you? What’s your name?”

Grace was about to help Jason introduce himself when the latter opened his mouth and replied, “My last name is Yi. You can call me Jason, Grandma.”

There was some kind of respectful humility in Jason’s voice; it surprised Grace a little. At least under normal circumstances, Grace had not heard Jason talk to other people in the same tone.

“Jay? Good. I’ll call you Jason then,” Grandma said with a smile. “Grace is a good kid, but she has suffered a lot. You must treat her well.”

“I will. She’s the only person I’ve ever wanted in my life. I wouldn’t choose anyone else over her,” Jason said earnestly.

Grace started to blush slightly. She tugged at Jason’s sleeve, trying to hint to him not to be too direct.

However, what her grandmother said next was even blunter. “Are you going to marry Grace?”

When Grandma asked this, her muddy eyes suddenly became sharp. It was as if she wanted to see the man more clearly.

“Yes,” Jason replied bluntly, “I’ll marry her if she’s willing to.”

To him, she was the only woman in his life that he would marry or… wanted to marry.
